In Michigan by small Msjority-Republl-
cans Get There by 10000.
DETROIT, MICH, April 5,-Returns
from yesterday 5 election are slowly coming
in. 1t being settled that the Republican
State ticket has been elected by about TO-
OOO plurality the interest centers on the
Prohibition amendment The ErcRiRg
JOaIpal says it is defeated by 5, 500 majority
and Others claim the majority will reach
$4,000, but the Prohibition Committee still
claims the adoption of the amehdment.
This claim is based on the fact that all the
cities have been heard from, while
country localities, where the movement
had its greatest strength, have not
yet been fully reported. All figures so far
received ON the amendment are partly esti-
mated and little confidence can be placed
in them, although it seems probable the
amendment is defeated by small vote.
This evening the ProhibitiOnists claim that
frauds were committed against them in
several wards in this city, and say that
several precincts will be contested. 1t Is as
serted that known ProhibiGOnists were
prevented from voting, that ballots for the
amendment were destroyed; that OppO-
nents to the measure were allowed to vote
several times and that votes against the
amendment were purchased.
1O:5Op m.-The latest figures on the
election place the Republican plurality at
about 5000, while on the prOhibitory
amendment the opposition majority will
he abOut 3. .OOO.

PROGRESSIVE PRIESTS.
An Organization That Is in Sympathy With
DIR. McGlynn.

New YORK, April 5.-Rev. Sylvester
Malone, of Brooklyn, one of the eminent
priests who received an admonition be-
cause they attended DIR. McGlynn's recent
lecture, said to reporter last evening;
"There was nothing in the lecture against
the teachings of the church. think it is
the duty of the priests to take stand OH
this question, and if they do you will find
a great many on the side Of DIR. McGlynn.
| have spoken TO many priests and they
agree with ME. do not hesitate TO state
my views"
II is now stated that DR. Burtsell, who
was warned with the others, has not been
suspended, but has been removed from his
office ~ Defender of the Marriage Tie. "
He is reported to have had an angry inter
view with the Archbishop.
Ii is an interesting fact that DR.. Nc
Glynn, DIR. Burtsell and DR.. Malone were
among the original members of what was
known among the priests as the Liberal
Club or Clique. II comprised also, ut the
start, Rev. Thomas Farrell, now dead, and
Rev. James Milan, of Poughkeepsie. They
believed the Church should conform and
adjust itself to the spirit of the age and
country. Their general tendency was
toward limiting tire power of the Bishops
and Archbishops and the elevation of the
dignity of the priesthood. They mOoted
the idea of saying mass in English instead
of Latin, and even prophesied that event
ually priests would discard vestments. OF
late little has been heard of this somewhat
radical clique

WESTON, W. VA, April quite SEN
sation was created this morning when the
County Court announced it had decided to
resrind its action IN the granting of license
for the sale Of liquor outside the town OF
Weston. If. Neely, OF Jane Lew, applied
for license and WAS refused, whereuPon the
Court reversed the action Ofyesterday and
revoked the license OF one GilhOOly, of Ro-
anoke. Ii is thought the Court will have
a tussel over the right to rescind its con.
tract with GllhOOly, he having ordered his
goods, etc, in pursuance Of the bond given
by him 10 the Court for the sale of liquors,
etc, at Roanoke. Administrator McGary

Inauguration of the Commerce Law on the
New York Roads.
NEW YORw, April .. The new Inter
State Commerce law went into effect to-
day, and so far no difficulty in regard to
the new rates has arisen.
At the Office of the Trunk Line AssOcia-
ton in this city il was stated that the new
rule WAS working satisfactorily, but that
some interests would be sure to conflict.
These, however, were so tritling that they
could easily be settled by the agents. w.
l.. Malcolm, General Eastern agent Of the
Santa Fe road, and Mr.. w. Z. Hall, Gen
eral Eastern agent of the Southern Pacific,
also stated that the new law was working
evenly.
The new rates have been posted in the
depots, according to law, and the travelling
public could see at once what the various
claSsiticatiOns are. The abolition OF the
free pass system is fayorably received by
that portion ofthe public that did not come
under the privileges of the dead head rule,
now defunCt.

cans in New York when the unexpected
strength of the Labor party appeared. The
Republicans there broke ranks and gave
Hewitt votes to defeat George. Amor
Smith friends acted IN good faith through
out 10 the whole ticket.
''The most remarkable thing about the
election is. the appearance Of the Demo
cratic party as the third party. Whatever
may be the Deficiencies Of the Labor party
in the excess of their theories, which may
be modified by experience, they are not IN
politics for Doodle, and whatever might
happen to them if they were long in the
enjoyment of power, they start fair as
honest men, and it is profound satisfac-
tion, though they chased Amor Smith 50
close, that they out-vOted the BoOdle Dem
ocracy."
An unofficial footing for ward officers
shows the following result:
.Councilmen-13 Republicans, 9 Labor
and Democrats.
Board of Education-15 Republicans, 8
Labor and Democrats.
A curious fact is that the Third, Fourth,
Nineteenth and Twenty-first wards, hith-
ertO strongly Democratic, and the Tenth,
Eleventh, Twenty-second and Twenty
fourth, strongly Republican, were carried
yesterday by the Labor party.
At the United Labor headquarters to-
day there was a streng feeling that with so
many votes the Labor party should not
give il up without contest.
"Our votes come so near electing our
men, if it does not elect them, that be-
lieve We will contest the whole city ticket
with the Republicans" said Secretary
Bristol, of the Labor Campaign Commit
tee.
Upon what do you base your cOntest?"
was asked.
IL do not know that / am at liberty to
state until after the meeting Of our COM
mittee," said he. 81 will say, however,
that we had returns from 107 prcincts
showing plurality Of over 500 for Steven
son, and additional returns this morning
increased that plurality to some 700"
The regular returns at the election
board make the plurality 600 for Smith,
and we want to know how it Is. can
only state indefinitely, in addition to this,
that we hear there was bribery in ward
Seventeen, and in ward Nine one man,
who is in Texas, was impersonated at the
polls, and another, who is in the work
house, was also represented at the polls.
We expect to unearth other frauds and
irregularities further along"

PIuralities of the Republican Candidates-
The Labor Men Kicking.
CINCINNATI, April 5. The complete
count on the MayOralty ticket shows:
Smith (Rep), 1883; Matson, Dem. },
1851; Stevenson, Labor, 1887
Smiths plurality, 500.
The pluralities OF the other candidates
are as follows: F. w. Moore, Judge
Superior Court, 1850; 7. F. Horstman,
City Solicitor, $40; A. F. Bohrer, Treas
urer, 2, ,S62; ]. A. Caldwell, Judge Police
Court, 3,949; J. c. Schwartz, Prosecuting
Attorney Police Court 8, $50; Emil Rehse,
Clerk Police Court, 1925.
The footings for COuncilmen and mem
bers of the Board of Education have not
vet been made, but the indications are that
the Republicans will have a plurality on
both Boards, il not majority.
The Enquirer has little to say of the
meaning of the election. 1t says of the
result: 1T is at least clear that no Demo-
erat upon the general ticket has been
chosen. Fitzgerald, for Police Judge, ran
ahead of the remainder, but not sufficient
ly. The party is left completely out. 1t
is too early to speak with any accuracy
regarding the ward tickets, save to say
that the Republican majority in Council
will be largely increased. The election
was a very orderly one, and the most or
derly and earnest OF all were those repre-
senting the United Labor party. The car
penters' strike threw an unexpected
element into the field. 1t sent to the polls
1000 of our very best artisans and they
brought with them their brothers, their
cousins and their uncleS. The result Is TO
be seen in the magnificent vote which the
party cast. "
The Commercial Gazette says: '"rhe
Democratic managers saw early yesterday
that they were not going to win, and snd
denly issued orders throwing their strength,
so far as it was at command, for the Labor
ticket. This is precisely the opposite
course from that pursued by the Republi-

THE usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing
patients can testify. On this point a
trustworthy medical writer says: "PrOper
local treatment is positively necessary to
success, but many, if not most of the rem
edies in general use by physicians, afford
but temporary benefit. A cure certainly
cannot be expected from snuffs, powders,
dOuches and washes" Ely's Cream Balm
is a remedy which combines the important
requisites Of quick action, specific curative
power, with perfect safety and pleasant
ness to the patient.

o INDIANAPOLIS, April 5.-The Inter

trouble. A prOminentmiller says: What
the law will ultimately do will not pre-,

millers of this city. We are compelled to
shut down on account of the failure to get
rates south of the Ohio. After this thing
is settled our prospects are good. The
mills experience no trouble in securing
plenty of grain to ep'them running, and
orders are fair.

tery this morning. The police are running

failed to identity Mrs. Clinton FrOnate as

the murdered girl to whom she sold the
